I reduces water tension allowing condensation to even out, what ingredient does it I don't know.

I've been diving both professionally and recreationally for years and the baby shampoo is a miracle mask defogger.

Also, take Nexium if you get acid reflux due to diving. I only get it when I dive. It is OTC now.

Always take sudafed with you when you go on a trip. I always seem to get some congestion when I travel. Take it the night before, but NOT right before you dive. (Panadol -available in some some Caribbean locales works good too).

Always take spare batteries, a small tube of silicone grease, and an extra mask strap as well. I have to take an extra mouth piece for my wife because she bites through them.

I used to always travel with an extra regulator, BC, and set of fins. But now that the airlines charge for bags and have weight restrictions it is no longer feasible. Most well populated resorts have rental gear now days anyway.

It's just a surfactant. Any soap would work, but baby shampoo is a no-tears formula, hence being ideal for EYE goggles.
